Hi. My name is Thunder Eclipse. My story is a long and strange one. So...I guess you should just sit back and relax while I tell you all about it.
To start off, I should probably begin with my parents...
A lone midnight mare sits on her balcony gazing out at the night sky as a purple aura surrounds her horn. She is intensely watching the moon and stars, trying to spot any imperfections she might have missed. Suddenly a white stallion walks up behind her. Startled, the mare flaps her wings out of instinct as the stallion uses his magic to bring her back down to earth.
"Luna, we need to talk. Ever since the day after we went out drinking for your birthday you've been avoiding me."
"Sol...I just can't."
"Darling, I thought that when we were married you understood that I'd always listen to you and be there for you. Please, just tell me what's wrong."
"Nothings wrong Sol, it's just that well, I've been feeling a little nauseous lately."
"Nauseous? Well why didn't you say so? I'll ask your sister to give you some time off and Doctor PhD to prescribe you some antibiotics. It's probably just that bug that's been going around. There's no need to hide from me for that."
"No it's not that kind of nausea. Do you remenber anything at all from that night?"
"Well no, I admit that I do not."
"Sol, I think that we were so drunk that we came home and well...I uh...don't know how to put this..."
"Wait you mean that you're...you're...and that means that I'm ... I'm ...gonna be..."
"Yes...I'm pregnant with your foal Solar Storm..."
"Luna, I don't know what to say. All I know is that right now I'm the happiest stallion in they world."
Off in the distance the couple hears Princess Celestia calling her younger sister to dinner.
"Well I better go."
"Luna, have you told your sister yet that we're married or that you're pregnant?"
"Well I was gonna tell her tonight. I mean it is the anniversary of when she hired you to help raise the sun you know."
"Oh yeah, I remember like it was yesterday. The war on the changelings had just ended and Princess Celestia had been drained of too much power to raise the sun on her own anymore. You know, now that I think of it, there was this one mare that I saw that I had decided accepting the job would impress enough to get her attention." Solarus gently kisses Luna's cheek.
"You know, maybe I'll mention) that when I break the news to Tia. It might be better if you aren't here when I tell her though. Goodnight."
The stallion walks away and dissappears in a flash of light. Luna walks over to her door and greets her guards as they escort her to dinner. Once down the stairs, she trotted over to the chair nearest Celestia and whislered in her ear. Celestia nodded in understandment and asked all the other ponies to leave the room for a moment.
"Dearest little sister, what is it you wish to tell me?"
"Tia, you may have noticed that I have been acting strange lately-"
"Yes, you have been quite strange for the last couple days, but I dismissed any thoughts for you seemed happy."
"Well you see, Tia...I kinda...umm...'mpregnantwithhisfoal." The words came flying out of her mouth as fast as she had heard the Pies talk recently. Celestia's face had gone from calm to disturbed to angry in a matter of seconds.
"YOU WHAT! LUNA HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK TO DO THIS. MOM AND DAD WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO YOUR OWN SISTER! LUNA YOU LEAVE ME WITH NO CHOICE." Celstia yelled out in anger as she summoned the elements of harmony. Her horn started to glow and pulsate as she readied the spell.
"Tia what are you doing!"
"What should have been done long ago. I'm grounding you on the moon for 1000 years!
"Wait Tia the foa-" she never got to finish her sentence as the magic took effect. Within moments Luna was gone. However the realization of what her sister had tried to say suddenly came to Celestia.
"Oh buck, what did I just do..." with this Celestia began sobbing to herself.
A few minutes later Solarus walked into the room.
"Uhhh princess, have you seen Luna, she said she was going to tell you something important."
"Yes Solarus, i have seen her, and she told me everything. Yet i am afraid i have made a grave mistake." She goes on to explain what happened in detail until she comes to the part about the foal.
"Im sorry but, you will never see your foal Solarus."
No words came out of Solarus' mouth but rather all the life seemed to flow out of him.
For the next several weeks Celestia could not face her parents. She had done something unforgivable. Something that could never he fixed.
As for Solarus, he stopped eating, drinking, and sleeping. All he would do all day and night is stare at the moon. Within the year he perished.
